Thank you so much. I do my best to make my guests comfortable and happy. So glad you had a good time and enjoyed your vacation. Please reach out again when you’re ready to visit Siesta Key.
Like so many others have mentioned, the views from all rooms were fantastic. This was our first time staying at Crystal Sands (the place we usually stay at on Siesta Key is still undergoing repairs) - and we were very happy with the accommodations. Covered parking, the lanai was great, comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen, ample bathrooms and closets, and plenty of space in general. Very enjoyable visit!

We enjoyed our visit very much!! The location is fantastic and it is a wonderful view from the balcony. I've always stayed with straight on ocean view and this view was way better! It was very cool to see the beach from where we were all the way up to the village. The condo was great as well! We would definitely reserve again!

The condo was very comfortable & we loved the view. Siesta Key Beach is beautiful.
The couch covers were annoying, but we understood the reason for them.
We had a wonderful time!

About the host
Hosted by Magda Pokorny
We fell in love with Siesta Key almost 18 years ago. As a family we have visited many locations around the world but always came back to Siesta Key and specifically Crystal Sands. We dreamed of the day when we were ready to make a commitment to this area. As residents of Los Angeles but originally from the Chicago suburbs, we enjoy our escape to the peace and beauty of Siesta Key. Our daughters are grown now but they never miss an opportunity to visit with us when we go to Siesta Key. Vacationing in Siesta Key revives our spirits and energy. We hope you will find our home in Siesta Key a comfortable and enjoyable memory for you and your family or friends and please consider us again on your next trip back. I am almost certain you will be back. Enjoy your stay and thank you.
Why they chose this property
We chose Crystal Sands after having stayed in many other complexes when vacationing in Siesta Key. There were many advantages to this location. First beach proximity to the complex. This is only one of a few complexes that is directly on the beach. We also loved the floor plan that provided views from all the main rooms as well as a large Lanai. The complex is always maticulously maintained and a more family oriented complex. The private beach areas provide for plenty of space to sprawl out and enjoy the beach. The gradual sloap into the Gulf allows kids of all ages to enjoy the water. The beach town feel of quaint ambience is perfect. Enough to do but not out of control.
What makes this property unique
The feeling of escape from hustle and bustle. To sit on the lanai and enjoy a fine red wine and casual conversations while looking out at the beauty of the environment around us. The beach, the ocean, the sky. Even the evening thunderstorms as lightning strikes over the Gulf of Mexico is magical. But vegging out while lying on the cool sands and swimming in the warm waters of the Gulf are priceless.
